University of North Texas goalkeeper Maddie Ogden scored an unforgettable first career goal on Thursday with a free kick from near midfield.
As the final seconds of the first half ticked away between UNT and UTSA, Ogden launched a ball into the box that got past everyone including the opposing goalkeeper.
Texas Tech women’s soccer team, ranked No. 25 in the country, had a wild 2-1 win vs. No. 14 Texas when they scored in the literal last second of the game. The Texas Tech goal vs Texas is as dramatic as it gets.
College soccer works differently than the professional games you might watch. In college there’s no stoppage time as the clock is paused when play stops. That also means that when the clock hits 0:00 the half/game is over right then and there.
Al Nassr secured a 3-1 victory in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a goal and taking out a cameraman in the process.
During the game Al Nassr were awarded a free kick just outside the box. Nearly all eyes in the stadium were on CR7 with the exception of the man operating the camera crane behind goal.
Ronaldo’s kicked went past the wall, past the goalkeeper, past the goal and right into the face of the poor guy just trying to do his job.
Lionel Messi has been showing off his free kick technique in the U.S. with several beauties in the past months. He proved on Thursday he can still do it on the international stage as an amazing Messi free kick vs Ecuador got Argentina a big win for 2026 World Cup qualifying.
Argentina had several big chances during the game including Messi missing wide in the 16th minute, Lautaro Martinez hit the post right before half and other chances.
As the clock edged closer and closer to 90 minutes the game looked destined for a 0-0 draw. Then Ecuador made a crucial mistake.
Lionel Messi’s game-tying free kick vs. FC Dallas on Sunday in the Leagues Cup was an insane moment. A new video angle prior to the kick shows that Messi was a little sneaky when he was setting up to take the shot.
While the referee had his back turned the Argentine ever so subtly moved the ball closer to the middle of the field to get a better angle for the shot.
David Beckham's reaction to Lionel Messi's late-game free kick against FC Dallas is pure joy.
It came in the 85th minute of Inter Miami's game versus FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup as his side needed an equalizer.
Here's the free kick in case you missed it.
HE DID IT AGAIN.
Lionel Messi added another dramatic free kick goal to his Inter Miami highlight reel as his side defeated FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup Round of 16 with a scoreline of 5-3 on penalties after drawing 4-4 after 90 minutes.
This was Messi’s first away game since joining Inter Miami and he didn’t disappoint. The Argentine scored yet another brace to bring his goal tally with Miami up to seven goals in four games.
He has scored three braces in a row.
Lionel Messi es un ser mágico.
El argentino debutó con la playera del Inter Miami y de inmediato dejó un momento épico para la historia del equipo floridano. Un gol sublime de tiro libre, en el último minuto de juego, y que sirvió para vencer a Cruz Azul por 2-1 en el inicio de la Leagues Cup.
Cruz Azul tuvo incontables chances para sacar una victoria desde el DRV PNK Stadium, pero su falta de puntería se ha vuelto su pecado mortal.
How big is Lionel Messi?
Inter Miami, dead last in MLS, hosted Cruz Azul, bottom of Liga MX, in the uncelebrated Leagues Cup on Friday night, and a sellout crowd (one fan paid $3.5K for a spot near midfield) with LeBron James, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian, Marc Anthony and Becky G in attendance showed up to watch.
You would've thought that Kim K had cursed Miami to a group stage exit, but Messi had other plans.
If you’re not on social media that much, then you should know that there’s an inside joke going around about Major League Soccer always having some of the most ridiculous goals scored on a weekly basis.
Fans are constantly greeted with a new highlight of a random MLS player scoring a bicycle kick, volley or long-range rocket.
